    Before the pandemic I thought the anti-vaxxers were a fringe group. How did so many get to be so clueless? Comparing vaccines to Nazism. These people spread more than covid, they spread paranoia! Those who believe them become paranoid of the government and those who don't believe them see them as extremists and become paranoid of them and their message!

    That picture was taken in Boston which is the perfect lead in to this next story.

    Massachusetts State Police troopers resign over COVID vaccine mandate

    Dozens of Massachusetts State Police troopers have submitted paperwork to resign in response to the governor's COVID-19 vaccine mandate, according to a union that represents around 1,800 officers.

    To date, dozens of troopers have already submitted their resignation paperwork, some of whom plan to return to other departments offering reasonable alternatives such as mask-wearing and regular testing," Michael Cherven, president of the State Police Association of Massachusetts, said in a statement Monday.

    The State Police are already critically short-staffed and acknowledged this by the unprecedented moves which took troopers from specialty units that investigate homicides, terrorism, computer crimes, arsons, gangs, narcotics, and human trafficking, and returned them to uniformed patrol."

    Sometimes I think the problem with covid-19 is it's not lethal enough! How many anti-vaxxers would there be if it were 100% lethal? Obviously none because they'd all be dead, except for the ones who finally cave.

    And it could happen someday, an extremely deadly plague that spreads like wildfire. Try opposing a vaccine mandate then!

    But if they consider for a moment the number of people who have gotten the virus, recovered, but now experience long-term medical problems that alone should be enough to compel them get the vaccine.

    For instance, 60% of people who recovered from COVID-19 had signs of heart inflammation, which could lead to shortness of breath, palpitations and rapid heartbeat.

    SARS-CoV-2 can attack the body causing damage to the lungs, heart, nervous system, kidneys, liver and other organs.

    And yet one of their concerns is the long-term effects of the vaccine!

    While there are legitimate concerns about the vaccine, the number of people who experience long term adverse effects from the vaccine are less than .01%.

    I'll take those odds any day of the week

    I guess we can assume the guy hasn't had his rabies shot either? Maybe he should be quarantined for observation. If he starts frothing at the mouth, his victim needs to be notified so he can undergo those painful rabies treatments.

    Since we're fast approaching Halloween perhaps I should point out that rabies in humans gave rise to the vampire myth and legend

    A prominent anti-vaxxer gave out his phone number at a rally because 'he has nothing to hide.' Two days later, he's begging people to stop calling him.

    Last Saturday, Canadian conspiracy theorist Christopher Saccoccia, also known by the pseudonym Chris Sky, gave out his phone number during the "Just Say No" anti-vax rally at Toronto's Eaton Centre where he repeatedly compared vaccine passports to slavery.

    Saccoccia gave out his phone number in an attempt to organize anti-vax protests with "substance," which he defined as storming into Canadian businesses and restaurants without masks and demanding service.

    "I'm going to give out my phone number because if there's any people of substance and resources actually watching this, who actually have a set of balls, a set of morals and actually want to help the country, they can contact me," Saccoccia said. "My number is public because, unlike the politicians, I have nothing to hide, I'm not afraid of anybody, and I'm actually here to help."


    Two days later, Saccoccia
    posted a video telling the thousands of "f-cking idiots" calling his phone asking "stupid f-cking questions" to leave him alone.

    A Texas man who said he didn't get vaccinated out of 'stupidity' had both his legs amputated after COVID-19 turned his feet black

    Pepe Forina, 56, who had pre-existing conditions like diabetes and hypertension, lost both legs to sepsis after being hospitalized with COVID-19, Texas local news station KRGV reported.

    "I looked at my feet and my feet were black," Forino said, per the outlet.

    Asked why he didn't get vaccinated, he said "stupidity basically, I didn't believe in it."

    "It's a choice, a choice that I made poorly," Forina said, per KGRV. "Learn from me, and hopefully you won't be in the same situation that I'm in."

    Breaking news,

    Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has tested positive for covid. He's vaccinated and shows no symptoms.

    A new drug in pill form called molnupiravir is an antiviral treatment shown to “significantly reduce the risk of hospitalization or death” when administered to “at risk, non-hospitalized adult patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19.”

    California has become the first US state to require Covid-19 vaccination for students.

    And finally, and sadly, we've passed 700,000 covid deaths in the US.

    I'm double jabbed and don't beleive any of the conspiracy rubbish over it. Yet I know a few people personally who have had health problems after being jabbed and been told by medical professionals that the most likely cause was from having the jab. For the majority it's the right thing to do but there are many many thousands of people who's life has been turned upside down by taking it.
